They are at opposite poles of Malaysia’s economic classes. Mat Rempit may soup up their bikes but these are still among the cheapest motorbikes available. Superbikers, on the other hand, ride the Mercedes Benz and BMW versions of motorbikes, many of which are more expensive than the average house.

Report: Mat Rempit scaring off tourists in KL

The bikers have turned the roads around the historical Dataran Merdeka into their own racing circuit on Sunday nights.

KUALA LUMPUR: Illegal motorcycle racers, known locally as Mat Rempit, are giving tourists a bad impression of the federal capital, the New Straits Times reports.

On Sunday nights, from 10pm onwards, they “own” the roads around the historical Dataran Merdeka, causing a nuisance to motorists and unsuspecting tourists unlucky enough to be in the area.

The New Straits Times said large groups of youngsters could be seen lining the pedestrian walkway while waiting for the races to start.

Some even showed off their stunts to the crowd, revving their motorcycles loudly.

Tourists admiring the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad building hurried to take their last shots before quickly leaving the square.

A Mat Rempit, identified only as Zul in the report, said the bikers would race to Chow Kit and back to Dataran Merdeka via Jalan Pahang and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

The office boy said it was his routine to head to Dataran Merdeka every Friday and Sunday for the “action”.

On Saturdays, he would head to other “tracks”, including one in Serdang.

“On Saturdays, the traffic is heavy and there are many roadblocks. We are practically left to ourselves on Sundays, unless there are those rare roadblocks,” he was quoted as saying as he waited for his turn to race.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are reviewing the way they handle mat rempit to improve ways to control the problem.

With laws on dangerous driving and drugs at their disposal, the Federal Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department will up the ante against the menace to society by using environmental legislation.

Its deputy director, Superintendent Mustafa Bakri Salleh, said the department would engage the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry more robustly to hold mat rempit liable for noise pollution.

Police had planned more operations to net the daredevils. It is in these operations, code-named Op Samseng Jalanan, that authorities would check their modified machines, mainly exhaust pipes tweaked to induce loud noise, which mat rempit favour to give the impression that their bikes were powerful.

Under the law, generated noise that goes beyond 75dB (decibel) is considered “pollution”.

A technical team from the ministry, which would be part of the enforcement team, would carry out on-the-spot tests for action to be taken under Section 23 of the Environmental Quality Act 1974.

Under the act, offenders can be slapped with a maximum fine of RM100,000 or jailed not more than five years, or both.

Mustafa told the New Straits Times that a loophole in the law allowed mat rempit to take back their modified bikes once the legal process was concluded.

Not all Mat Rempits are involved in street racing; some of them perform crazy stunts for fun, such as the wheelie, superman (lying flat on the seat), wikang, and scorpion (standing on the seat with one leg during a wheelie). Mat Rempits usually travel in groups and race in bustling city centres on weekend nights. In recent times, Mat Rempits have been linked to gangsterism, gang robbery, street fighting, assault,vandalism, theft and bullying. Most motorcycles used by the Mat Rempits do not meet standard specifications, or have been modified extensively for greater speed, or just to make the exhaust noisier.

According to the group’s spokesperson Mohd Shahid Tasiran, the presenter had branded them as ‘pelesit jalanan’ (street locusts), which he said was akin to claiming that the bikers were Satanists. “The term used (by the presenter) is ‘pelesit jalanan’. Locusts cooperate with Satan, the Devil. We feel that they are calling us the Devil and ‘Road Satanists’. We want them to retract it,” said Mohd Shahid. The programme had included a staged arrest of bikers speeding and performing wheelies on the highway. A camera crew recorded the event while the presenter lauded the Automated Enforcement System (AES) and uttered the term which the bikers found offensive.

Mat Rempit to Help Fight Crime? This is a Signal that Hishammuddin Hussein’s Time as Home Minister is Up!

The Home Ministry wants to engage the mat rempit to help fight crime in the country. Describing the idea as out-of-the-box thinking, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the ministry had asked selected non-governmental organisations and groups to enlist the bikers’ co-operation in the fight against crime. –

Calling this an ‘out-of-the-box thinking’ goes to show that our minister is really suffering from a serious mental block or he is totally not qualified to hold the position. Any credible home minister would have instructed his top home security officials to come out with a comprehensive plan and strategy to curb and combat crime. –

Second, he should address the issue of a lack of police personnel doing patrolling and just desk jobs. He should be mindful not to abuse security forces to meet political ends or using them to stop freedom of assembly and expression. –

The full brunt of security forces should be used to protect and guarantee public safety.

Hence, using mat rempit to help fight crime is not even an idea, let alone an ‘out-of-the-box thinking’. It epitomizes Hishammuddin’s state of mind and his suitability to continue serving as our home minister. No wonder, he has a knack to ignore distortions in crime statistics posted by his ministry. –

I am not looking down on these mat rempits. The right thing to ask them to do is to get a job and help contribute to this nation’s development. –

Second, these mat rempits are not trained and equipped to handle criminals. What if some of them get hurt or killed in the process of fighting crime? –

What if these mat rempits take Hishammuddin’s instruction and suggestion too seriously and start to act like enforcement officers and abuse their ‘power’? –

What if some of the criminals are fellow mat rempits too? Can we depend on them to take action against their own kind? –

If Hishammuddin is keen on this ‘idea’, he should encourage these mat rempits to attend interviews and apply for positions in the security forces. –

The last thing Hishammuddin should do is to belittle our intelligence with his so-called idea and out-of-the-box thinking. –

If our current home minister is feeling the fatigue, he can volunteer to step down and allow a fresher person to take over. –

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said it would be meeting the group and relevant non-governmental organisations (NGOs) soon. “We are thinking outside the box. Just Because Mat Rempits have negative connotation doesn’t mean that we have to neglect them. “They will face challenges, criticisms and cynicism but if they stay true to their belief and we guide them the right way, what is impossible can become reality,” he told reporters after launching ‘Konvoi Jalur Gemilang Ikatan Rela/KDN’ programme here yesterday. The effort is continuation of KDN efforts involving stakeholders and authorities in fighting crime, including shopping mall owners and NGOs.

He also said five policemen, aged between 45 and 51, have been detained in connection with the case. “Police investigations revealed that Kons Mustaghni was not hit on the head with a helmet. Instead an object was thrown at him. “It is believed that one of the policemen arrested had thrown the object at the victim,” DCP Tun Hisan told a news conference here. The policemen were arrested Friday morning at the South Klang police district. It was earlier reported that Mustaghni was severely injured in the head after a motorcycle carrying two illegal racers (Mat Rempit) crashed into him and the pillion rider hit him on the back of the head with a helmet, during the police operation in Jalan Bunga Raya, Taman Gembira, here, Sunday.

EVERY time Corporal Mustaghni Tabri went out late at night for operations against Mat Rempit, his wife Norizan Shahidin only had one advice: “Don’t chase after them.” Norizan’s worst fears, however, came true when Mustaghni was seriously injured after a motorcycle thug swung a helmet at his head during an operation in Kampung Raja Uda early on Sunday. He is now in critical condition at the intensive care unit of Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital.

Mat rempits must be stopped

IT is clear that mat rempits have become a national problem like drug addicts, ah longs and illegal gamblers. Any further delay in arresting the mat rempit menace will cost the country and the people dearly. Crying over what is lost will not help, neither will it bring back what is gone, nor repair the damage incurred. A clear example is the condition of traffic policeman Kpl Mustaghni Tabri, 48, who is in a coma after being hit with a helmet by a fleeing mat rempit at a roadblock in Taman Gembira, Klang ( The Star, June 5). This is just the tip of the iceberg. I understand that many more cases of this sort had not been highlighted. Last weekend, I was travelling with a friend on the North-South Expressway and was shocked at what I witnessed. Throughout the stretch from the Sungai Petani toll until the Sungai Buloh toll we had different groups of Mat Rempits terrorizing the highway users.

The Mat Rempit and about 70 of their pillion riders were soaked in sweat as they trudged the 7km-journey for over two hours yesterday in one of the biggest police crackdown on illegal racers here. Earlier, the group of largely-young motorcyclists had used the vicinity of the hypermarket as their racing circuit, revving their machines and performing stunts amid cheers of their supporters and other onlookers.

On their feet: Motorcyclists pushing their machines along Jalan Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu in George Town.
